There are high prices buy things try to think twice
Dongdaemun cheaper point he
Bubble that with clothes ah what.
No need to bring shower gel or anything else
Nothing special, it's pretty much like China, you can buy anything you want at the convenience stores around.
The hot springs do not need to bring anything, go in first outside the shower, and then go in the bath.
South Korea with the group will certainly take you to buy ginseng products, I used to buy nothing, in addition, if you take you to buy electronic products, be sure to ask good and the domestic system is not the same, not universal never buy.
Eat: Japan to raw cold-based, relatively small amount, but very delicate, and healthy, less oil; South Korea to eat less than Japan, because the meal standard is lower than Japan. So, eat as much as possible, or easily hungry. Japan's natto must eat; dairy products are Hokkaido, very good; Japan's McDonald's inside the fresh shrimp burger, this is not available in the country; sushi I will not say. Korea's ginseng chicken, I suggest you go and eat it once for yourself.
Live: Japan and South Korea's hotels are very small, almost no lobby, because their land area is not big, huh, but to ensure cleanliness and hygiene, equipment is relatively complete. They are very concerned about the environment, it is recommended that you bring slippers, toothpaste, toothbrush ... A few hotels don't have these disposables. Also, the hotel room refrigerator, if you do not want to consume, do not pick up the goods, because they are contacts, things a leave the contacts, even if this commodity is not used and then put it back, but also charges, black it
Line: generally we are touring the car, there is no nothing to say, Japan and South Korea's subway is very well developed, especially Tokyo Osaka Seoul, these big cities, affordable but also convenient. Cab in Japan is very expensive and expensive.
Tour: Disneyland, although not cheap, but feel value for money it.
Purchase: Japan's drugstores are very good, very popular with girls, and the real thing. Hair dye, lipstick, mascara... All are good choices. Highly recommended Shiseido shampoo set, almost half the price of the domestic oh. Japan's electrical appliances, when buying, must pay attention to whether it is a wide range of voltage, that is to say, the voltage labeled on the product between 110-240, we buy back to be available. If you can run into the Japanese hundred dollar store, do not let go, huh. Japan's lightweight umbrellas are good, cheap 500 yen on it, aluminum, so very light, easy to carry, expensive umbrellas to be on the 10,000 yen, but it is said to be able to use at least 30 years. Japan and South Korea things are a penny a penny, a lot of cheap things are MADE IN CHINA, but it is difficult to see in our country. When you buy things, be sure to see where they are made in. By the way, now buy electrical appliances, as if South Korea is very cost-effective, because the exchange rate is very low Oh.
Hot springs: Japan's hot springs, men and women separately, do not need to wear a swimsuit, only need to bring a towel, afraid of cold, you can also bring a bath towel (you can use the hotel to provide). Before entering the hot spring pool again, be sure to squat down and wash yourself with the body wash and shampoo next to you, try not to splash water on others, and rinse off with a shower before entering the hot spring pool. Towels, bath towels may not be put into the pool (in the pool, it is best to quietly soak, other actions are best not to appear oh). After soaking in the hot springs, you can sell a bottle of Japanese milk, ice cold drink down, very cool, and Japanese milk, are Hokkaido, flavorful. By the way, the hot spring pool is also very mini, unlike what we see on TV, huh, because the hotel is very small... There are not always outdoor hot springs, and if there are, you must feel it
There are a few more points:
1. When traveling, prepare some common medicines, such as colds, diarrhea.
2. Carry as few valuables as possible, hand luggage is limited to one per person. Checked baggage weighs no more than 20 kilograms. Liquid containers can not exceed 100 milliliters, more than to be checked, not more than 100 milliliters volume, to be sealed in a transparent plastic bag (airport provides plastic bags). Mascara, cleanser... All belong to the liquid.
3. You can go to the bank with your personal ID to exchange money. You can take no more than 20,000 RMB or 5,000 US dollars in foreign currency out of the country. You can't bring prohibited goods. (Tip: Be sure to change at home, foreign exchange will be much more expensive; in general, the Bank of China's exchange rate is a little better) The best directly with the yen won, the dollar Japanese do not recognize.
Japan's climate, now and Shanghai is almost the same, but the weather is changing, bring good clothes. Japan is wet by the sea, umbrellas should also be carried.
4. Japanese vehicles all drive on the left, crossing the street to strictly adhere to traffic signals to ensure safety. The escalator is also on the left, and we are just the opposite Oh
5. Although the Japanese people also learn English, but there may be a difference in pronunciation and ours, a little challenging
6. Japan's time is 1 hour earlier than our country: we 12:00, they 13:00 ~ ~
7. Japan's voltage is 110 volts, it is recommended to bring a conversion plug in case of emergencies
8. 8. Our cell phones do not work in Japan. In Japan, you can buy a phone card to make domestic calls, to Beijing, for example: 001 + 010 + 86 + 10 + phone number. The phone card seems to have 2 kinds of 3000 and 5000 yen, you can buy one together, all convenience stores can buy.
9. If you want to go out at night, it is best to take the hotel's business card, in case you get lost. The Japanese and Koreans are still friendly and will help to show the way. Japan's security is still very good
Well, finally remember to bring a big box, generally speaking, the harvest is good, hahaha
Wish you a happy trip ah ~ ~ ~ ~

Koreans revere Confucianism and respect the elders, and when the elders come into the house, everyone should stand up and ask them about their longevity. Sunglasses are removed when talking to elders. Wake up in the morning and after meals to parents to greet; parents out back, children have to welcome others before they can eat. When traveling by car, give way to the elderly. Pick up. Eating should be the first for the elderly or elders to feast on food, the elderly move chopsticks, others can eat.
The traditional etiquette for Koreans to meet is to bow. When a junior or subordinate meets an elder or superior while walking, he or she should bow, greet and stand aside, counting his or her precedence, as a sign of respect. Men meet and greet each other bowing and shaking hands, shaking hands with both hands, or with the left hand, and is limited to one nod. The bowing etiquette is generally not used among businessmen. When dealing with Korean officials, you can shake hands or give a slight nod of the head. Women generally do not shake hands.
Men and women socialize separately in social groups and parties, even at home or in restaurants.
In Korea, if you are invited to dinner or a banquet at home, you should bring small gifts, preferably picking out packaged food. When toasting at a banquet, you should hold the bottle in your right hand, rest the bottom of the bottle in your left hand, then bow and make a toast, and then pour the wine at the end, and do it three times in a row. The person making the toast should hold his or her glass a little lower and touch the other person's glass with the rim of his or her own glass. After the toast, one should bow again before leaving. When you are a guest, your host will not let you visit the whole house; don't wander around by yourself. When you are leaving, the host walks you to the door, or even to the door, and says goodbye.
Koreans receive gifts with both hands, but do not open them in front of their guests. It is not advisable to give foreign cigarettes to Korean friends. Alcohol is the best gift for Korean men, but you should not give alcohol to a woman unless you make it clear that the alcohol is for her husband. It should be noted when giving Korean gifts that Korean men tend to like designer textiles, ties, lighters, and electric razors. Women like cosmetics, handbags, gloves, scarf-type items and spices for the kitchen. Children, on the other hand, like food. If money is given, it should be placed in an envelope.
If there is a visit it must be pre-arranged. Koreans place great importance on hospitality in their dealings, and banquets are usually held in restaurants or bars, with the wife seldom present.
2. Taboos
The government states that Korean citizens must honor the national flag, national anthem and national flower. Not only is the national anthem broadcast on the radio at regular intervals, but it is also played in theaters before shows, and the audience is required to stand up. Foreigners who show excessive disrespect at these places are considered to be disrespectful to Korea and the Korean people.
Koreans have many taboos. When meeting each other on New Year's Day, you cannot say unlucky words, and you cannot get angry or quarrel. The first three days of the first month of the lunar calendar can not take out the garbage, sweeping, not to mention killing chickens and pigs. Do not make fire on the Cold Food Festival. The Chinese zodiac is not good for marriage, and the wedding date is avoided on a single day. Fishermen eating fish are not allowed to turn over, because of the taboo of capsizing. Avoid going to other people's homes to cut nails, or the two families die after the feud. Avoid eating with a hat, or life-long poverty. Sleeping taboo pillow book, or read nothing. Avoid killing a dog born in the first month, or you will die within three years.
When sitting with older people, sit upright. Since the Korean table is a small table with short legs, placed on a floor bed, both guests and hosts should sit cross-legged on the floor during meals. If you are sitting on your knees in front of your elders, you should sit on the soles of your feet, and no matter who you are, you should never straighten or spread your legs, as this will be considered rude or insulting. You should not smoke in front of your superiors or elders without asking for permission, and you should not borrow or catch fire from them. Do not make random noises while eating, let alone talking. Take off your shoes when entering a family house or a Korean restaurant. Eating on the street and blowing your nose in front of people are considered rude.
